NewzSince 1998, the Bundesliga and EA SPORTS have worked together to bring the excitement, authenticity and emotion of German football to fans around the world, helping generations of supporters connect with the league through gaming. Former FC Bayern München midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger will be guest of honour at the announcement in Cologne at Gamescom 2026, the world's largest video game trade fair and gaming festival. Under the extended agreement, the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 will continue to feature in EA SPORTS FC.
Authentic matchday experiences remain at the heart of the partnership, allowing millions of fans to experience the Bundesliga across EA SPORTS FC through clubs, players and stadiums from Germany's top two professional leagues in both EA SPORTS FC 27 and FC Mobile. The renewal also reinforces a shared ambition to push the boundaries of innovation. As football fandom becomes increasingly digital, the Bundesliga and EA will deepen their collaboration across content, intellectual property, emerging technologies and innovation, including through TRACAB’s advanced football data and tracking capabilities.
Together, EA SPORTS FC and Bundesliga will continue to create immersive experiences that bring fans closer to the game than ever before, both on and off the pitch.
